Allow me to clarify what I mean. I have my monitors arranged as so (DP# just being the DisplayPort-#): +------+-----+-----+-----+ | DP1 | | | | +------+ DP4 | DP5 | DP1 | | DP9 | | | | +------+-----+-----+-----+ What I was hoping to do is have a window go fullscreen on DP1, DP4, and DP5. I realize there is the `fulscreen global` option, but because DP1 and DP9 have a lower PPI than DP1, 4, and 5, there is part of whatever cut off on the top of DP1 and the bottom of DP9. I realize this is a niche case that very little people (if any) car about, but on the off chance anyone knows, it'd be awesome if you could post the solution. otherwise I might look into a feature request general info: drake@unimatrix434:~$ i3 -v; uname -a i3 version 4.7.2 (2014-01-23, branch "tags/4.7.2") © 2009-2013 Michael Stapelberg and contributors Linux unimatrix434 3.13.0-44-generic #73-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 16 00:22:43 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Sun, 10 May 2015 01:27:47 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5979/fullscreen-accross-certain-monitors/https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5979/fullscreen-accross-certain-monitors/?answer=5983#post-id-5983Make a script that floats the current window via i3-msg then uses xdotool to move it to the corner of dp4 and resize it to be the appropriate size to fit across all 3 monitors. sortafloat.sh #!/usr/bin/env sh i3-msg floating enable xdotool getactivewindow windowmove xcord ycord xdotool getactivewindow windowsize xsize ysize bindsym something sortafloat.sh This is as close as you can get there is no way to be actually be fullscreen across more than one display but not all of them.
